slammedi'am Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Pretty much got the interior done for it....Got to put the decals on the seats......Got the body in primer and waiting for paint....I made a bed cover for it and trying to figure out how to hinge it..

hooknladderno1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Looks good! What shade of red did you use and where did you get it? I had some custom mixed Ford Bright Red for a couple of early '90's projects (Bronco and pickup), but need to get more... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDano85gt Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 the first gen kit comes with the aluminum double tube rear bumper? searching e bay for these trucks you see some with that bumper and some with a normal looking rear bumper not for sure which one is correct? did they ever have manual trannys on these trucks? or was it pretty much a aod only thing? awsome job so far i'm watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedi'am Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 David,its Duplicolor cardinal red I believe.. Daniel,the tube bumper was an option for the Lightning only....All were automatics also.You also have to shave the side trim off cause the Lightnings didnt have it(kit was just reg f150 body) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
